For some reason, this was my absolute favorite name as a little kid and told my mom I wished she'd named me Darlene. I couldn't tell you where I even heard the name from. Now I just think it's not bad. It is quite precious sounding, but I think it can sound trashy depending on the person's accent. I have to beware of that, because for me, a lot of names sound trashy in a strong Philadelphia accent, where I'm from. For example, a lot of people have commented on here in the past that my aunt, Marita, has a very nice name, but if you hear it in a Philadelphia accent, it doesn't sound nice at all. Here T's aren't really enunciated, if that helps you imagine it.
